road at the city limits on the
Faufield-Teague road; Fourth
avenue from Main to Cedar

owner of a 25-foot business lot
on Main street only about
$57.00 to get the whole street
paved with gravel and gutters
constructed of concrete on f*he
whole front of his lot. More-
over, the committees appointed
t'xo see the property owners re*
perot that the proposition has
gone over the top, there being
very few. if any, who are not
light in the proposition with
both feet. Of course, the city
has authority to compel prop-
erty owners to co-operate, but
in Teague things of this nature
are done the Teague way, by
the co-operation of the people
working as a unit—everybody’s
in for any worthy proposition
of advancement.
Let us have a Greater Teague
—this is the best step in years
toward the goal.

NEW RATES TO BE
EFFECTIVE SEPT. 1
Freight, Passenger, Pullman
and Baggage Rates Are
To Be Raised.
Washington, Aug. 2.—Read-
justment of the whole rate
structure of the Nation’s trans-
portation systems was started
today with a view to putting
into effect by Sept. 1 the
freight, passenger, excess bag-
gage and milk rate increases
authorized last Saturday by the
interstate commerce commis-
sion.
While tariff experts are
working on the general sched-
ules, the carriers will make ap-
plication to the various state
commissions for advances in
intrastate rates to correspond
to those in interstate rates. Re-
quests for advances in passen-
ger, Pullman, milk and excess
baggage tariffs are expected to
be the same for all states, as
the increase in these charges
authorized by the federal com-
mission were general. They
were 20 i>er cent in passenger,
milk and excess baggage charg-
es, and 50 per cent on rates for
sleeping and parlor car space.
In the case of freight rates,
however, the carriers will ask
Vol. 15, No. 1.
the states to advance these tar-
iffs to correspond with the in-
creases granted by the federal
commission for the territory in
which the state is located. The
interstate increases authorized
are 40 per cent in Eastern ter-
ritory, 25 in Southern and
mountain-Pacific territory, and
36 in Western territory.
The railway executives have
not calculated the total increase
in the revenues to be derived
from the rate advances, but the
sum has been unofficially ap-
proximated at $1,500,000,000.
The commission’s decision is
intended to give the roads the
6 per cent return on their ag-
gregate value permitted by the
transportation act.
Under the commission’s or-
der, charges on freight moving
from one territory into another
will be 33 1-3 per cent higher.
Creation by the commission
on its own motion of the moun-
tain-Pacific territory was unex-
pected. The Western roads $k
a whole had joined in asking
for an increase of 33.3 per cent,
hut the Southwestern lines
later at, the public hearings
asked that they be given separ-
ate treatment and the freight
increase of approximately 38
per cent. The commission did
not grant this request, saying
that it had been opposed by
many shippers and other car-
riers in the Western group.
